Young kid, full beard, backpack that looked like it came out of Hotel Transylvania and wearing what looked like a long skirt. Is this the new piece of must have camping apparel?

Hiking kilt? View Quote Hopefully and probably this. Got to say, think what you want but having the fellas hanging free in the breeze is a fantastic feeling and very cooling etc. Worn a few kilts in my time and although you may look like an idiot it is not a horrible idea. Damn girls get to have all the breeze fun up in their stuff. |

I'd probably wear a hiking kilt. Sounds comfortable. Wonder if I can order one in my family tartan.

I have the one from Mountain Hardwear. Been awhile since I got out in it but then its also been awhile since I have gotten out at all.
I wore it all around the Yosemite backcountry and some other places though. I've also played ultimate Frisbee in it. They are pretty comfortable. |

Kilts aren't ok. They really aren't. You can do what you like, and even wear a tellytubby costume if it's comfy, but please, think of the children.

It's just like wearing socks and sandals though. Even actual Scotsmen don't wear them like Americans wear them. |

View Quote I see that every now and then when I am backpacking in the sierras, not a kilt even, just looks like they are doing the hippy thing. I do see 1-2 kilts a week when I am doing 7 day trips in the sierras. |

Same for me. The terrain is steep here and you get a lot of freedom of movement with a kilt on those long uphill slogs. The mountain hardwear kilt is the best. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Most of the year, even in the heat of summer, we're pretty bug free. And never a fire-ant to be found. |

I've hiked locally in my 5.11 tactical kilt, it's comfortable and I don't give a shit what people think so it's a win-win. It is probably a bit heavier duty than the one's posted in various links but it's got lot's of pockets and fit's well.

If you're free under a kilt, won't hungry little forest bugs eat your legs and happy tools? I prefer some protection.

Getting your nutsack caught on a bramblebush or wedged between a pair of rocks because you just had to be edgy? Not cool. |

I wouldn't wear a kilt to the Highland games and Bagpipe review. They're for Scots. I can trace my lineage to the Welsh. I am not a Scot. I think those grubby Irishmen wore them too.

View Quote Ummmm...........no. |

Many countries/regions wore kilt-like garments, only the Scots got more known for them in recent times. Take a look at some of the Greek parade uniforms.

Save it for the sca. |

Maybe the hiker was wearing a sarong? I had a boyfriend who wore sarongs. Said he picked it up in Laos in the late '60s, early '70s. He really pulled it off, but he tended to wear it when he was barefoot and running after boars with a spear. Kind of a free spirit, but in a "fuck you" way, not a special snowflake way. |

One says, "Hey you! Get off my cloud!" The other says "Hey McCloud, get offa me ewe!" Seriously, though. I don't care what people wear out in the woods. If it makes them happy and reflects their personality, I'm all for it. |

All fun and games until he comes across a yellow jacket nest in the trail....

My ancestry are almost all Scots and those hiking kilts are horrible.
I have no shame wearing my family's tartans for historic reasons, but modern fabrics have come along way. |

The beard and old school frame pack makes me think you witnessed a Hipster Hiker. I think he was probably trying to pull off an early-70's hiking guru look. Did he have sandals or pointy-toed, high heeled hiking boots? That will put this whole thing to rest. I saw a group of pretty, young ladies on the trail wearing wierd, old timey straight skirts and super ultralight packs. |

No...wasn't a kilt. It was long, almost down to his ankles...
